Disney isn't just a company made to give you another fantasy land to live in; it's a company that teaches you something within this wonderful world they've created for their audience. Among the countless stories they've created and told these are some of the lessons I have loved and think every Disney fan, old and young, should know.

1. Belle.

Beauty is found within someone, not what you see on the outside.

2. Peter Pan.

While you may be growing older with time; it doesn't mean you have to grow up. No matter what age you are it is important to embrace the child in you.

3. Merida.

Your fate lives within you; it's up to you to be brave enough to see it and achieve it.

4. Lilo.

Family isn't defined by blood; it is defined by love and acceptance.

5. Hercules.

You are your own hero, and in order to achieve greatness, you have to work hard and have a good support system.

6. Snow White.

There is goodness in everyone if you just believe in the ability to find it.

7. Pinocchio.

Lying doesn't get you anywhere; honestly is the best policy for everyone.

8. Cinderella.

Having a positive attitude even in the darkest situation can bring you the happiest of lives.

9. Rafiki.

The past is the past, and it is up to you to decide whether or not you want it to define you or change yourself for the better.

10. Dumbo.

What makes you different doesn't make you an outcast; it makes you an individual.
